If you want to brush up on your drawings skills, or learn how to draw for the first time, this is the perfect class for you! 

Students can draw in any dry media (pencils, pastels, charcoal, pen and ink, etc) with their own reference. Each student will receive individual critique and demonstrations from Felicia. This class will be best suited for people who prefer to work in a realistic or representational style and is appropriate for adults and teens.

Suggested Supply list

  • Preferred dry media (you can contact Felicia with questions about specific materials after signing up for the class)  
  • Good paper (paper can make or break your drawing!). I’d suggest the following: Legion Stonehenge, Strathmore 400 series drawing, hot pressed watercolor paper, or Canson Mi Teintes (for pastels and charcoal). Tinted paper is also recommended 
  • Kneaded eraser
  • Block eraser
  • Tombow Mono Zero round retractable eraser 
  • Stiff paint brush
  • Blending stumps
